Procurement Summary

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support proposes to acquire 4 Quadcon ISO Shipping Containers under solicitation/contract number _SPE8ED-23-Q-0223/SPE8ED-23-P-0417.

Waiver Rationale Summary

No offers for a domestic end product were received in response to subject acquisition that was conducted using full and open competition after exclusion of sources. Historically, offers have rarely been submitted for a domestic end product for this National Stock Number, as the domestic market is not competitive. The domestic market is not competitive due to the unavailability and cost of sourcing steel domestically as required by DFARS 252.225-7001 for domestic end products.

Did / Will the solicitation include one of the standard BAA provisions announcing the agency’s intention to provide a price preference for domestic end products and construction material?

Yes

Was a sources sought or Request for Information issued?
